Sports equipment for children with disabilities. Inventory and material equipment of halls for the disabled. Adaptation of sports facilities: what to pay attention to

Equipment

Disassembled simulators represent a complete set of all parts, fasteners, as well as accompanying documents. The packaging of all components ensures their protection from damage during transportation and storage. The parts of the simulators come ready for assembly and do not require additional operations (drilling holes, welding plugs, etc.)

Passport products

Each simulator is accompanied by a manufacturer's passport. It provides basic information about the product, its operating conditions, an installation diagram, and also indicates the warranty period.

All simulators have been tested for quality and safety, which is confirmed by a certificate, which is included in the package of accompanying documents for the equipment. A quality certificate is mandatory for participation in tenders and execution of government contracts.

Assembly and installation instructions

Each complex is accompanied by a diagram for installation and step-by-step instruction. The drawing shows the exact dimensions of the simulator, which will allow you to plan its location on the site and make markings. The instructions describe in detail your actions when installing the complex, as well as the sequence of their implementation. This will allow you to install the equipment yourself

Sports complexes, stadiums and any other public facilities must be accessible to everyone. Categories of sports institutions are included in the program Accessible Environment- and this obliges the management of such facilities to adapt the infrastructure of the building and territory for disabled people and people with disabilities disabilities. This means that the management of such institutions needs to remove all barriers and ensure access for people with visual impairments, hearing impairments, as well as people who have difficulty moving or are confined to a wheelchair.

Territory adaptation: where to start?

The task of organizing an accessible environment inside a building and in the surrounding area can present a lot of complex nuances. The Accessible Environment program does not provide instructions and standards that could help in solving this problem. In conditions where there is no “action” guide, and the building has its own technical features that need to be taken into account when adapting, the management of the institution has to develop an action plan independently. To make it easier to understand all the intricacies, we have prepared several recommendations for you.

First and foremost, when developing your onboarding equipment list, it is important to consider any obstacles or barriers that a visitor may encounter. The needs of people with hearing and vision impairments, as well as those using wheelchairs, are taken into account.

An approximate list of adaptation equipment, which is necessary in most cases for sports institutions under the Accessible Environment program, includes:

lifting platforms for disabled people (for moving up stairs and overcoming height differences);
safety railings and ramps with a special non-slip coating;
tactile tiles and navigation system (plates, mnemonic diagrams, etc.);
equipment for accessibility of bathrooms (handrails, adaptation of passages);
special parking spaces for disabled people;
call buttons in places where operator assistance may be required.

If you have to implement measures to adapt a public sports facility, you can confidently rely on the given list of facility equipment.

Adaptation of sports facilities: what to pay attention to?

Comprehensive measures to adapt facilities are not only about removing barriers and obstacles. Special attention It is important to pay attention to issues of comfort and safety. We recommend working out several important nuances:

spectator areas. People with visual impairments can move around the area with a guide dog. A special dog walking area must be equipped for her.
stands. In addition to audio transmission of information to viewers, displays with text messages should also be placed;
for orientation of people with complete loss of vision and visually impaired. Tactile strips will help people navigate more easily and feel more confident. In addition to tactile systems, durable handrails must be installed;
pools and baths. For disabled people with musculoskeletal disorders, a flat ladder should be installed in the shallow part of the pool bath. A special pool lift is required for wheelchair users. The edges of the pool bath along the entire perimeter should be highlighted with a contrasting stripe;
rooms for blind people. Handrails, fasteners for equipment, regulators, electrical switches and other elements must be recessed or installed flush with the surface of the walls;
passages. Doorways must be at least 1.2m wide to allow easy access for athletes in wheelchairs.

When periodically using physical education and sports halls and premises for the disabled in the designed buildings, in addition to taking into account accessibility provisions, one should take into account the size of specialized areas for activities for the disabled, located in standard-sized halls.

In addition to the standard set of equipment and supplies in the halls, additional equipment for classes for people with disabilities should be taken into account. When arranging equipment and exercise equipment, safety zones and entrances for wheelchair users should be taken into account.

The dimensions of areas and premises for entertaining games and training on exercise machines do not require particularly strict parameters, given that the rules of the games are simple and easily replaceable.

A hall measuring 24x12 m for physical education and recreational activities for people with disabilities with musculoskeletal disorders, exercise rooms of 9x18 m, as well as proposed halls of 9x15 and 6x9 m for general strengthening exercises without the use of sports equipment and exercise equipment zones, it is advisable to divide into two zones: for strengthening exercises without the use of sports equipment and a zone of exercise equipment.

The arrangement of equipment should ensure that a disabled person in a wheelchair can travel to all areas of the hall. Along the walls of the hall, in areas free from equipment, a handrail is provided for ease of movement for people with disabilities using walking aids.

Hall equipment includes:

bench with racks for bench press,

barbell squat racks,

simulator for rotation and development of agility,

running trainer,

health wall simulator,

exercise machine for developing the shoulder girdle and pectoral muscles,

exercise machine for developing back and abdominal muscles,

exercise bike, bicycle ergometer and universal bench exercise machine,

carpet for gymnastic exercises on the floor,

gymnastic benches and wall,

parallel bars for learning to walk.

For self-control of disabled people, mirrors with handrails are provided on both sides of the hall. The optimal size of a hall for sports games for disabled people in wheelchairs is 36x18 m. In such a universal hall, training and planning lessons and competitions in wheelchair basketball, net handball, quadrugby, figure riding in wheelchairs, sitting volleyball, football and tennis can be held. To do this, the hall must be equipped with special stationary and transformable equipment. For entertaining games in the hall, you can provide additional portable equipment: an inclined trampoline, targets for throwing rings, a basketball hoop on a stand. The hall for sports games for disabled people has a size of 30 x 18 m, taking into account safety zones and an information tactile path around the largest playing area. The hall can host training and competitions in rollingball, goalball, and torball. The equipment includes goalposts and nets with a fixed top crossbar, orientation mats, sounded balls, stands for stringing cords with bells. In addition, amputees can practice in the hall (sitting volleyball). The floor surface must be flat and smooth.

When designing halls and premises for non-traditional types of sports games for people with disabilities, the parameters and conditions for conducting classes should be taken into account. For people with visual impairments (VC) main task is training in coordination of movements and orientation in space. They are oriented primarily using acoustic means, tactile and intense color markings. Therefore, sports grounds should have a convex or concave surface, brightly colored floor markings, appropriate to the types of games.

In gyms intended for blind people, the floor surface must be perfectly smooth. In table tennis halls, free areas of at least 9x4.5 m should be provided for each table and tables of standard sizes should be used. When placing more than one table in the hall, light portable barriers must be installed between them to prevent the ball from rolling out of the playing area.

To play show down (one of the few sports games that blind people can play without assistance), a special table measuring 4.16 x 1.27 m is used. Playing areas (1 m wide) and safety areas (2 m wide) are provided around the table. . In a hall intended for playing showdown, it is advisable to install only one table.

The acoustic characteristics of the room are of utmost importance: maximum sound insulation from external noise must be ensured and special sound-absorbing cladding of the walls and ceiling of the room must be provided. All this is due to the fact that during the game, players are guided by the sound of the moving player.

In a hall measuring 9x15 m for special physical training For disabled people, individual joints are developed and certain muscle groups are “pumped up”. For this purpose, special simulators are installed in the hall. The working areas of the simulators are expanded compared to public facilities. In addition, the hall has a special information path for people with visual impairments.

The gymnastics hall must be adapted for those types of sports practiced by athletes with visual impairments. For men there are 6 types: acrobatics, pommel horse (swings), rings, vault, uneven bars, high bar; for women there are 4 types - acrobatics, vault, uneven bars, beam. One type of program - vault - requires increased visual control, so the height of the apparatus is reduced compared to the usual rules.

The composition of the training group for the blind should be halved compared to healthy athletes, and the number of equipment in the training room should be reduced. Tactile orientation strips (safety zones) must be provided around projectiles.

It is advisable to conduct gymnastics classes for people with visual impairments in a hall of non-standard size - 36x24 m. The span of the hall is increased due to the need to install information tactile paths.

The set of sports equipment is minimal (one for each event) in accordance with the composition of the group and the types of all-around.

For sports games for people with disabilities with musculoskeletal disorders (PODA), it is possible to conduct educational and training sessions, competitions, as well as entertaining games in a hall measuring 36x18 m.

The following equipment is used:

hanging basketball backboards,

wall-mounted basketball backboards of variable height (for hitting practice),

stands for attaching a volleyball net,

inclined trampoline for basketball and handball,

target with glasses,

basketball hoop on a stand.

Additional equipment is provided, as well as the installation of a gymnastic wall buried in a niche. For people with visual impairments, the optimal size of the sports hall is 30x18 m, taking into account safety zones and an information tactile path around the largest playing area. The hall can host training and competitions in rollingball, goalball, and torball.

The equipment includes goalposts and nets with a fixed top crossbar, orientation mats, sounded balls, stands for stringing cords with bells.
